What is the Difference between the United Kingdom, Great Britain, and England?
Do you ever get confused and wonder what the difference between the United Kingdom, Great Britain, and England is? And where does Ireland and Northern Ireland fit into all this? And what are the British Isles?
Well, I have come across an incredibly-helpful and amusing video on YouTube that answers those questions.
While I am happy to share it with you, I will caution you that he talks really fast. So I’m going to give you the bottom line first, kind of a “cheat sheet” so your head won’t spin when you watch the video.
What is the United Kingdom?
The United Kingdom is made up of several countries: England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Each is a sovereign nation. The U.K. is actually called the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
Citizens of each U.K. country carries a British passport. There are all British citizens. Yet, don’t call them all British. In England the preferred name is English. In Scotland the preferred name is Scottish. In Wales the preferred name is Welsh. And in Northern Ireland you will find the Northern Irish.
While the U.K. is a member of the European Union, the currency used in these countries is the British £ sterling. Some larger stores will accept Euros but some have service fees. You can use your Mastercard (Access) and Visa in most places.

Normally there is no fee, but some countries may charge you a small travel visa fee at the airport.
It is good to carry a couple of passport pictures when you travel to certain Asian countries just in case.
Western European countries (or those that belong to the European Community) do not require any visa for USA citizens.
Latin American countries such as Brazil and Argentina do require a visa for USA citizens.
